Top pick: #2 (JUST IMAGINE) - He ran a bit "rank" last out at Del Mar and trainer Doug O'Neill has had him on the sidelines since that July 30th mile contest. Working very fast for his first since then and this grey son of "Unbridled's Song" has been competitive facing better than these in the past. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Tuxedo Blues) - 6yo by "Milwaukee Brew" has solid early speed and has finished 4th in his last pair at Del Mar. Away for 20 months before returning in July, he's in good form since coming back and his speed makes him dangerous.
3rd pick: #3 (Land Rocket) - Well-bet in his debut August 7th at Emerald Downs, he's in a winning barn (Charlie Essex) and that race in Washington was on real dirt. Trainer wins at a 31% rate 2nd time out and this gelding is a contender.
